Some iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro users have reported losing access to their iCloud Notes after accepting updated iCloud terms and conditions. Apple has acknowledged the issue and provided a fix in a new support document.
If your iCloud notes are missing, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app and tap your name.
- Tap iCloud, then tap Notes.
- Ensure Sync this [device] is turned on, then check the Notes app.
- If notes are still missing, restart your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro. After restarting, check your settings again.
After completing these steps, your iCloud notes should reappear and begin syncing across your devices. Any content previously synced to iCloud should be restored.
This issue appears to be related to the updated iCloud terms and conditions released a few months ago. Apple is continuously working to address bugs in iOS 18 and plans to release iOS 18.2 next month with new features, including ChatGPT integration with Siri, Image Playground tools, and Genmoji.
